teachers to spark student interest in science, math, engineering and
technology. The program is sponsored by NASA's Office of Education in
Washington. NASA selects schools each year to participate in the program. To
date, there are 128 Explorer Schools in 46 states and the District of
Columbia with more than 40,000 students involved in the program.
